Too Big to Fail@toobigtofail.bsky.social · 3w agoOn days like this, there's one thing that's really important to remember: Under U.S. law, you cannot defame the dead. You can make up whatever terrible thing you want; nobody can hold you liable for it. If somebody's dead you can say they killed JFK or they cannibalized babies. Go nuts! It's fine.
Thursday on @thisguysucked.com: We’re back with another really horrible man from the 19th century, and you’ve definitely (probably) heard something about him!
I’ve been hinting about my current project for a while, and am so excited to (finally) announce it! I’m writing FALSE IDOLS: HOW GREAT MAN HISTORY LEFT OUR PAST IN RUINS with @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social. Truly a dream come true, and I can’t wait for you all to read it.
HEY. This week on @thisguysucked.com we’re releasing audio from last year’s president-hating live show and checking back in with @devintoshea.bsky.social for our first-ever bonus audio, discussing the extremely important issue of whether or not we can blame some horses for the Civil War.
